What will happen in your session?

Through the use of personas, we’ll host a conversation about how to educate people ‘why privacy matters’ and to better understand the ‘privacy’ they are surrendering when they choose convenient or no-cost tools that collect data for profit.

We have designed a session that puts fictional people in situations where their privacy is compromised. We split the attendees into small groups. Each group will be assigned a persona and be asked to suggest persuasive strategies they would use to tell their respective persona to change their behavior online – to consider their privacy and refrain from giving information away. The task will be to have a conversation with the personas that focuses on privacy rather than technical aspects and jargon.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

Our goal is to actively discuss the topic and feel better prepared to communicate the value of privacy beyond our everyday circles. We will produce notes and suggestions that can be used by any technical project in this space. And perhaps have some collective action items for the community.
